Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 137
An hour later, Ishino and Dr. Ali took their daughters and the three tired little ones to the restaurant of the castle to have dinner with the host family.

During the dinner, Jian Gongman and Jian Gong nobleman each talked about the reasons why they came back from abroad and decided to stay here, but they were picked out by the old lady pretending to be for the treasures in the castle.

After finishing speaking, Belmore pretended not to see the two of them, and left the restaurant, expressing that he would go back to his room for dinner. At this time, Gongman's face became very ugly, and the nobleman Jiangong showed a little helplessness, but he didn't care much about his grandma. The words, and the changes in the expressions of the two of them all fell into the eyes of Shi Ye and his two daughters.

Everyone waited until the dinner was over and did not see Conan come back. Not only the three little ones, but even Xiao Ai and Xiao Saki were a little worried that the other party had strayed into a secret room in the castle and was trapped, so they discussed to find it together. Conan's whereabouts.

Since there were two adults, Ishino and Dr. Ali, they did not agree to let the children find someone. Instead, the two adults searched with the assistance of the servants in the castle.

After nearly an hour of fruitless search, Mamiyaman said that Conan may have gone to the abandoned stone tower behind the castle. If he strayed into the forest, there was nothing they could do, and they could only wait for the police tomorrow morning Come to help with the search.

Hearing what the other party said, Ishino expressed his understanding, but Dr. Ali was still a little worried and wanted to search in the castle again, so Ishino accompanied the other party to start the last search.

Another half an hour later, when Dr. A Li was about to give up the search and planned to call the police directly, a secret door suddenly opened slowly on the side of the passage in front of him.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Dr. Ali immediately thought that Conan might be locked behind a secret door, so he walked in directly, while Ishino, who was searching on the other side, kept calm and calm shortly after Dr. Ali disappeared. Entered this secret door...

At this time, a group of children waiting in the room became a little worried when they saw that the two adults had left for so long and hadn't come back.

Feeling that something was wrong, Xiao Ai asked her sister to watch the other children in the room, and went to the place where the telephone was placed in the corridor by herself to call the police.

"What, are you going to call your friend?" Just as Xiao Ai picked up the phone to call the police, a deep voice suddenly came from behind.

Xiao Ai was startled when she heard the words and quickly turned her head, only to see Jian Gongman was looking at herself with concern, she immediately felt vigilant, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, the fight is over, I'll go back to my room to rest, Goodbye, uncle."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to ask, Xiao Ai walked past the other party, quickly ran back to her room, and locked the door behind her.

Seeing that Xiao Ai came back so soon, Xiao Saki asked a little strangely: "Xiao Ai, why did you come back so soon, did you find Dad and Dr. Ali?"

Aware of the weirdness of this castle, Xiao Ai didn't want to worry the children too much, so she lied and said: "I just saw my dad outside, and he said that I will continue to search for Edogawa with Dr. Ali, let's go to bed first rest."

The real kids didn't suspect him, so they obediently washed up and went to bed, but Xiao Qi felt that Xiao Ai hadn't told them the truth, so she asked quietly after the other party went to bed and lay down: "Xiao Ai, is something wrong? gone?"

Seeing her sister asking this question, Xiao Ai didn't continue to hide it, and replied softly: "Well, this castle is weird. Dad, Dr. A Li, and that kid Kudo disappeared out of thin air as if they had encountered a ghost."

Xiaosaki frowned when she heard the words, but she didn't show much panic, but calmly thought: "I think it is absolutely impossible for my father to be plotted against by someone with his skills. Could it be that there is some secret passage in the castle, and they were killed after they entered?" Stuck inside?"

"I think so too." Xiao Ai nodded, and frowned, "But I feel that everyone in this castle has their own ghosts, and I still feel a little worried about them. I will go out and look for the children later when they fall asleep. Let's find it."

Seeing that Xiao Ai had made a decision, Xiao Saki knew that her younger sister was quite assertive, and she herself was also worried, so she agreed to the other party's plan.

Not long after, Ayumi and the others, who were tired from playing for a long time, fell into a deep sleep. Seeing this, Xiao Ai immediately got up and got dressed, and asked her sister to lock the door so that the three little ones would not leave the room. left the room.

Returning to the room where Conan was last seen during the day, Xiao Ai also brought chairs and books, and started to turn the clock on the wall.

Compared with the unsuspecting Conan, Xiao Ai, who was already mentally prepared, quickly jumped off the chair the moment the wall turned, and was not directly involved by the secret door.

Seeing the darkness inside the secret door, Xiao Ai took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, turned on the flashlight on her watch, walked into it cautiously, and walked slowly down the stairs step by step.

Xiao Ai, who had been carefully observing the surroundings along the way, came to the bottom of the stairs, and suddenly saw uneven characters appearing on the steps, and immediately illuminated the area with a flashlight to examine carefully.

"That person is taking my place now, and wants to snatch the treasure of the castle..." Looking at the text in front of her that has been engraved for some years, Xiao Ai feels that it is very likely that it was left by someone before she died. message.

So she continued to walk forward, and within two steps, she saw the mummy at the bottom of the secret passage, and guessed that Conan was probably arrested by the murderer because he discovered this secret.

Just when she was thinking about how to find the missing people, a chill suddenly invaded her whole body, followed by an old voice from behind her: "What's the matter, little girl, it's so late! It’s dangerous to run out to explore alone.”

Belmord, who was disguised as an old lady, looked at Xiao Ai who looked terrified with a smirk, and couldn't help but want to scare her and play tricks on her.

Originally, her task was to scare the children who came to investigate and guide them to discover the secrets of the castle, but when she found that Shirley was the only one coming, she had the idea of ​​testing the other party's current mentality.

Belmode deliberately released the evil spirit of the members of the black organization, and Xiao Ai trembled unconsciously, but she was still barely able to maintain a standing posture, looking at herself with vigilant eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Ai had already guessed that the mummy should be the real old lady, and the one in front of her was probably the murderer who replaced the old lady and had plastic surgery to look like her, and might even have something to do with the black organization.
